In 2006 Wohlin, left the June List for the Christian Democrats, leaving the party with only two seats. Wohlin stated that he wanted to be able to "work for the Christian Democrats and the [[Alliance for Sweden]] in the 2006 parliamentary election" as reason for leaving the June List.<ref name=Wohlin>

The June List was on the ballot for the [[2006 Swedish parliamentary election|2006 parliamentary elections]] in Sweden. The party's platform during the election focused on a few main issues: to increase the number of people working in the private sector, hence increasing the state's tax income, a referendum on the European Union constitution and nuclear power, and increased municipal autonomy and more local referendums. All issues that were not in the party's relatively short party program were left to the approximately 100 candidates to decide on. The voters were encouraged to choose to vote for a particular June List candidate that they preferred rather than to cast a general ballot for the party itself.{{Citation needed|date=November 2024}}

At one point, it seemed possible that the party might be able to break the 4% threshold necessary to enter parliament,{{Citation needed|date=January 2008}} with the party reaching 4.5% in the polls in September 2005, but after that peak the party's support plummeted well below the 4% barrier and in the months before the election it became clear that the party would not be taking seats in parliament that year. In the end, the party received only 26,072 votes (0.47%).<ref name="results2006">{{cite web |title=Valpresentation 2006 |url=https://historik.val.se/val/val2006/slutlig/R/rike/ovriga.html |publisher=Swedish Election Authority |access-date=19 November 2024 |language=sv}}</ref>

Nils Lundgren resigned as party leader in March 2008. The party decided to elect two co-leaders instead of one party leader. They elected [[Sören Wibe]], former MEP and MP for the Swedish Social Democratic Party, and Annika Eriksson, long-time member of the party's governing board.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Ottosson |first1=Joakim |title=Wibe och Eriksson nya partiledare för Junilistan |url=https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/Xw93bm/wibe-och-eriksson-nya-partiledare-for-junilistan |access-date=19 November 2024 |work=Aftonbladet |date=6 June 2008 |language=sv}}</ref> Eriksson resigned after five months in January 2009 because of disagreements with Wibe and the party governing board.<ref>{{cite AV media|last1=Arenander |first1=Inger |date=2009-01-22 |title=Partiledare för Junilistan hoppar av |type=Radio broadcast |language=sv |url=https://sverigesradio.se/artikel/2584763 |publisher=[[Dagens Eko]] }}</ref>
